There were no values in the data downloaded. Tried multiple times and the size of the data seems to be a lot smaller than it should be. Also tried different browsers. Any suggestions?

See [here](https://forum.ipums.org/t/i-am-using-2007-2011-acs-data-when-i-run-the-frequencies-for-stateicp-statefip-there-are-only-14-states-why/337/1) and [here](https://forum.ipums.org/t/i-received-my-ipums-cps-extract-but-cannot-move-it-into-spss-is-theresomeone-i-can-call-who-can-guide-me/556/1) for answers to other users that experienced similar issues with their data extracts. I recommend following the instructions found in those answers, especially making sure that you have properly unzipped your data extract.

Hope this helps.
